Is the NEW 2020 Cadillac CT5-V a BETTER performance sedan than the Audi S4?

- An ALL NEW V-series car its here! The 2020 CT5-V takes on a new philosophy from Cadillac. Instead of it being a direct replacement for the previous CTS-V it will not be a middle gap to a higher performance CT5 coming down the road. Under the hood is a 3.0L twin turbo that produces 360HP & mated to a 10-speed automatic transmission. It's exterior features many V-series touches such as grill, Brembo brakes and wheels. On the inside you will find carbon fiber and a special V-series button for the active exhaust. Is the NEW 2020 Cadillac CT5-V a BETTER performance sedan than the Audi S4?

Finally, a Cadillac that is reasonably priced but not an obvious victim of GM's corporate bean counters! I'm impressed with the both the interior and exterior. Very well done, Cadillac.
Thanks for sharing that input and perspective!
And it will still break down in 3 years
Patrick Yip you sound dumb man lol
Patrick Yip Dude, you have a Dodge as your profile photo. Sit your ass down. Lol
@@challenger516 Tell that to the owners who have driven their Caddies to 200k miles and beyond. The only weak point in any recent Cadillac product would be carbon buildup in the motor (remedied with a $190 carbon cleaning service) and timing chains failing (which can be prevented with more frequent oil changes). Other than that it would just be wear and tear and how do I know this? I'm a Service Advisor at a GM dealership and when major failures occur on cars it's usually the owners who cause them.
This guy puts a video out every four hours, keep it up.
Kinda wish GM just called this a sport and left the V name badging to the big boy supercharged.
Yeah Vmax sounds kinda childish tbh.
Yup.. even Blackwing sounds marginally better.
I mean with MB and BMW affixing AMG and M to everything Caddy is gonna follow suit. Audi at least keeps the S and RS cars separate.
@@GhostPrime21 im hearing now that they are gonna call it the blackwing
I definitely agree with you 💯. You will never see an AMG badging on a MB or BMW midline performance models. I guess GM want to use the Blackwing Edition for top performance models..
Joe, I wish they had a guy like you working at the CDC to get us all out of quarantine.
You’re working non stop giving us quality videos.
We thank you my brother.
That really means a lot Dan! I appreciate it!
Another great review Joe. I know your videos are probably pre-recorded weeks/months in advance but I respect you for still providing us videos every day given the pandemic we’re having. Hope you’re staying safe in Florida
Thanks for these reviews during these tought times Joe!!
You are so very welcome! Stay strong because we will get through this together!
Love this Cadillac 😍, I'm at home now enjoying Joe's videos.. Thanks for the efforts buddy 🙏
Have been waiting for this review for the longest. Thank you.
Sorry I couldn't drive but I will very soon!
Nice job on this review
thank you for very clearly explaining of the names of the trim levels
Thanks, Joe. Can't wait for you to get it on the road
Thanks Joe!! Your vids keeps social isolation a bit easier to deal with.
for sure 👍
I really appreciate that!
@@thinkabout602 That means the world!
Regarding the title: this thing has a longer wheelbase than an Audi S6, let alone an S4.
Thanks for sharing that input and perspective!
They went back to the 1st and 2nd gen CTS formula. Priced like a 3 series but similarly sized like a 5 series. (their version of more car for the money) Only difference is that it has similar power to the 3 series. (so far) The older CTS had power similar to the 5 series. The CT5 is rumored to get the lt4, but I'll believe it when I see it.
Anthony Weeks Good points, but I think the CT5 and CT5-V compare to different 3 series models, the 330i and 340i, respectively. So from a price point perspective, the Caddies are pretty competitive.
*TheVoxOfReason* what’s your point? Audi makes their cars too short?
*TheVoxOfReason* for real
After watching this I actually like it . Dad drives an 09 CTS this would be a nice upgrade
Thanks for letting me share it with you!
Raiti's Rides no problem joe , your vids have been getting better and better !
Raiti's Rides you’re not standing right next to the Hermitage (7th president Andrew Jackson’s house) are you?
P
Ppppp
Styling and price are on point. Paddle shifters and open exhaust feature adds a bonus. I'm anxious to see the drive review.
So am I! Sorry I could not drive this one.
It’s awesome how you can get your hands on all these brand new whips!!!
Absolutely love it! Thanks Joe can’t wait for the drive review.
I appreciate you understanding about the drive portion!
@@RaitisRides did we ever get that test drive on the CT5-V?
I've been a loyal subscriber since this year, great work by the way! I saw the Cadillac logo under the hood where There is insulation ;)
Love the looks !
I love the color of this car!!! Great job Joe.
It really pops in the sun!
I don't think Mr. Raiti sleeps. He pushes out content faster than I can watch it. Good stuff.
I’m so in love with the CT6-V with the Blackwing engine and Super Cruise.
Honestly super impressed with how it looks. Especially the back👍🏼
Look really nice Joe. Love it
GOOD JOB RAITI.
Great video, I love the sport sedan videos!
Thanks for saying that Matteo!
Good video Joe ...
LOVE THIS!! 😍 It's funky, fresh and different nothing like the competition. That color is dope!
I am so glad that I could share it with you!
Did you just say "funky fresh and dope" in 2020? Let me guess, Cadillac got jiggy with this new CT5-V, word to your mother.
It reminds me of an Altima or civic lol
YES! I finally found your review of this 🤟. I saw this while I was delivering parts at a Cadillac dealership & said I wonder if raitis rides has reviewed it. This is what I want instead of a charger. I noticed this only the 2nd time you haven't zonked the gear panels so that's good. Also it has the hydraulic hood lever & the v series symbol is in the right place. Low head clearance sucks but it seems to be the only issue. I'm real happy it's v6 instead of V8 definitely what I'm looking for. The price is great also.Great review man I watch every day👍
That is so awesome man! Thanks for finding it and your support!
Very clean Cadillac. At first I was not about the rear end from the side view but then I saw the rear end, I think Cadillac nailed it. I would black out those exhaust tips but I do like that they are functional.
I bought a ZL1 because I needed a car and couldn't wait for the "V MAX" versions. Was bummed because I was coming from an ATS-V, but I have a feeling I will move back to Cadillac in the future, loved the ATS-V!
Good call!
Great video as always Joe! But what is that watch you are wearing?
Great video I love it I’m working 50 hours a week in New York City I’m in essential first responder on the front lines worker and very stressful but when I get off I look forward to your videos they’re so entertaining and relaxing thank you so much good luck with everything
Which borough?

Thanks for your hard work. We appreciate it more than ever. Please stay safe! :)
THAT SIDE REAR BLACKED OUT QUATER PANEL GLASS IS A GREAT ARTISTIC TOUCH.
Finally a nice cadillac,,,I would love to test drive it.
Best looking Lac I’ve seen in a long time
Nice review
I have a 2013 Audi S5 Cabriolet. It has a 3.0 liter supercharged engine and is very fun for my wife and I. This Cadillac seems it may be around the same performance level. I also have a 2011 CTS-V. That's where the performance really comes in. Haha. Looking forward to a new C8 in a year or two. Thanks for the videos!
Thanks for sharing that input and perspective!
I like it and it seems reasonably priced.... look forward to your driving review!
Thanks a lot for the great work of a modern day car journalist. You're our ears and eyes in the auto industry. You're appreciated in a wholesome way. I got a question. Why did GM decide to remove the silver wreath or garland piece out of the Cadillac emblems?
That really means a lot Moses! Thank you for saying that! They wanted to modernize the emblem.
@@RaitisRides Thanks for the response. I think GM should have kept the wreath. BMW and Mercedes-Benz have never changed their heritage emblems in over 70 years. GM shouldn't have.
Thank god Cadillac is going in the right direction; love this!
A 6-speed manual with that engine would be a beauty to drive
Love what Cadillac is doing, finally GM has people that are thinking and making awesome quality products. how do you get that sound from a V6? as always thanks for the videos joe
this is a nice looking car. looking forward to the driving video. i feel this fits in between the s4 and s6
I am so glad that you like this one.
That's a brave soul who purchased a hot-off-press GM vehicle!
Are you expecting the wheels to fall off the moment he drives off the lot?
J High you might’ve just cursed it, it’s a GM product.
Dexter Smith It’s a GM vehicle, not a Ford. Smart choice.
Joe looking forward to the driving review of the 2020 CT5 V
Great review like always. It would be great to go on a ride with you
Great review as always. Looking forward to the drive video. Maybe a compare to the G70?
Thanks Mark! That would make for a great comparison!
I miss the Cadillac Fleetwood Brougham
Lmao
I was never really into Cadillac, but this is a very nice looking vehicle with good performance for a competitive price. If I was in the market for a sports sedan, this would be on my list of test drives.
Great Performance
Lovely Interior
So so Exterior
Awesome review and I also agree to have an option that's not to much on the wallet.
Love the food as a reference to measurement.......the satire is great
"You could probably fit about a big mac & a bottle of good 'ol cocoa cola" (this guys the best)
They should have continued with the V Sport name considering a more potent CT5 is coming.
Love this Cadillac ! 🔥🔥🔥
Good move for the V series and puts it a reasonable price point. Looking forward to see how this one drives and hopefully we’ll see the Max version soon. It’s a tough segment to be in with lots of competition.
Decent price to plop right in the middle of the competition. Nice sportback body style as well. I see you Cadillac, I see you
I like the way it looks and sounds.
All of a sudden I wanted a Big Mac while watching this video. Damn it Joe!
Love the grille. It's sporty but not overdone and gaudy, unlike some sport sedans.
brake by wire way cool!!! Reminds me of the fly by wire on the F-16s..
Oh yeah!
Lovely car.....no complaints at all.....
I am so glad that you like this one!
Magnesium paddles! Good job, Joe!
Great review!!!! I was waiting for your review. How’s Cadillac reliability? I’m just waiting for the new Acura type S to make my decision
Ahh, what a great day it is when Joe puts out 3 reviews!! This or Genesis G70 3.3T??
I am bringing the heat! I am going Genesis!
Totally with ya on that one Joe!
Great review as always Joe!!! Thank you so much for this!!! Can you please do a review on a 2020 cadillac CT4-V in a darker red color wit beige or white interior? This would be greatly appreciated!!! Thanks alot Joe!!! Be Blessed my friend!!! Hugs!!! ❤
I actually have one coming! Thanks for your great support!
Awesome!!! Thank you sooo much, Joe!!!
Great looking car, and a nice walk-around review. While I don’t know whether many folks who would usually buy a German luxury car will opt for a new Caddy instead, I hope these new ones get some serious looks, because they are sharp and competitively priced. I’d definitely look at this car in a manual, especially since none of the German cars in this class offer a manual at all.
Joe if you want to come down to Naples you can drive mine and film it whenever you would like to!
I bet this looks badass in all black
that color is sick.
Fantastic review, as usual! In your opinion, is "gloss black" a good or bad thing? I ask because I always detect an ambivalent tone when you talk about gloss black.
man what sweet looking car
Almost three years later I want this one.. might be able to afford one next year low mileage… fingers crossed
Joe I would love to see a 2021 CT5-V with the new digital driver instrumentation and some on throttle action.
What a beautiful color
I am so glad that you like this one!
Looking good with the blacked-out grille. Front facia really looks appealing. Overall design looks great. The bodyline etc. Engine sounds great. Interior looks clean with carbon fiber bits though. Both headlights and taillights looks very beautiful.👌 love it. Is the exhaust vent is fake?
That is a nice ride and I look forward to when you drive it. It's good to see Cadillac making cars like this to compete with the Europeans. I would love to take it for a spin:)
Amazing car
“In the door you could probably fit a Big Mac and a bottle of Coca Cola in your American performance car”🤣🤣 you’re the man Raiti love your videos keep it up!!
I will keep my 2014 S4 with APR stage 1 tune and 6 speed manual, 369 lbs/ft torque and 433 hp, thank you.
Great review, I really like the styling of this new model!! Personally I would spec it with a light interior and some nice wood trim!!😊
Ryan’s Rides eh wood trim? I thought we were finally getting away from that look for 30 years. Don’t like this modern gray plastic faux whatever it is at all? I mean to each his own. Wood does have its place i suppose. Mazda is even putting real Japanese wood in the Mazda 6 signature and I believe the CX-9 has got it or is about to.
Joshua Rutter yes sir, real wood trim gives a car a little extra something something because ever piece of wood is different!! Feel free to checkout my videos, I make sure I point out the gorgeous woods in some of the cars!!
Raiti I really loved the car but I think for the value and really what it bring to the table I think the best one in this category call me loco but the Stinger I mean its really hard to beat.
Motivation baby !!!
This car is so beautiful 😩. Zonk the exhaust though
I feel you!
Nice vehicle Raiti
I am glad that you approve of this one!
Love u man from saudi arabia 👍🏼
That means the world brother!
Will you be doing a test drive at another time ? I want to see how this thing handles on throttle in the twisties.
Raiti - great review of the CT5-V...FIRST on the inter webs from an auto enthusiasts channel that I have seen! It’s unfortunate, but understandable that you couldn’t take this one for a drive, but I’m really looking forward to it...by all accounts, it’s a phenomenal driver’s car. Keep up the great reviews!
Also, I couldn’t agree with you MORE that the rear/taillights are one of the best design features. The rear was by FAR the biggest letdown on the CTS, and as much as I think the CT5 front looks better than the CTS, the rear is that much better...love everything about it (except that goofy c-pillar).
p.s. If Cadillac truly offers a manual in the 2021 model - V or V Max, it will be my next car. I love manuals and hope that the COVID-19 issue, which has already delayed the V Max reveal, doesn’t deep six any future models or offerings.
Thanks Wesley for your awesome well said comment! I am sorry I couldn't drive this one but I am all over the next one they get! Let's keep our fingers crossed brighter days come soon!
Raiti's Rides when you get to do the drive review of the CT5-V, can you provide a bit of commentary at the end on how it compares to the B9 S4 that you recently reviewed? That’s what I currently drive.
Looks amazing. And there’s a difference in the interior between this and it’s little brother unlike the bimmers🙄
I am so glad that you like this one Tre.
This car look dope
Man... That funky D pillar is a deal breaker. And a heart breaker. I like everything else about this car!
They should’ve just honestly put the v sport badge on this beauty 👏🏾💯
1:00 If I knew there was going to be a quiz I would have studied! Zonk me! LOL
At $48k, that's an absolute steal! However, that's basically where the V starts. This particular one doesn't have the options on it like the platinum and premium packages. Adding those and a nice wheel upgrade, I just built one on line for $66k. So, the majority of these you see will be more in the $60k range.
Joe when you first reviewed the car at the auto show, that unit had no sunroof/moonroof and you seemed totally happy with interior head room...for the full review, the unit you were in did have the sunroof which eats into the headroom quite a bit as your reaction confirmed, I guess the pro tip wud be for taller folks to not get that option
I totally agree with you!
Looks pretty nice.
I am so glad that you like this one!
Ct5 v max sound crazy!
that color is great Royal Spice Metallic
This is a very good choice for those of us who are tired of waiting (a year delayed at this point) for the new Acura TLX Type-S.
